I used to use that.  The way I was using it, it was just a sort of
TV-Guide kinda interface for the TV tuner.  You'd have a list of channels
with what was playing, you could click on a channel and see the show, or
you could read info about the program.

I never did that kind of thing.

This would be a lot different from what "protocon" (or whatever his name
was) was suggesting.  Here we have just a few selected channels coming in
on a coaxial cable.  He wants us to be able to access a lot more than
that!
